Fantastic quality fleece at a great price makes this a great value purchase to keep the chill out. Add the Microchill as a key item to your winter kit list; whether you're skiing, walking in the hills or taking your dog out, the Microchill will be that much needed mid baselayer to keep you warm. The Microchill incorporates a high cut collar for when the thermometer drops, and a long front zipper for venting options when the sun comes out to play. This lightweight fleece traps a lot of heat for your money. Wear it against the skin for sub-zero alpine starts in the Alps this summer, or over a thin base layer on chilly days.

Another excellent purchase from Cotswold ! This good quality fleece is not only light-weight but as its name suggests it is hard wearing too. I now have 3 of these...the other two have retained their warmth, colour and shape after being washed many times. It is effective as part of a layering system and in my experience this resilient garment remains odour-free after several days of continual wear whilst trekking and camping. A perfect buy !

Great hard-wearing jacket

Reviewed By Katharine, 15 Mar 2014

This is a great, hard wearing jacket that washes easily and well. Initially, I bought the jacket in a lovely red. I was delighted with the product and now have five, in different colours. They fit perfectly and are the exact length I need. Great all round coat, well worth a buy

Stylish top

A lovely fleece that washes well. Unlike other reviews I found that the sleeves fitted perfectly and I bought my normal size (10). The only negative is that I found it a bit short in the body length. Great choice of colours.

A warm & cosy fleece in great colours

Reviewed By Jacqueline, 06 Sep 2013

I bought this fleece in vibrant purple before going to the Outer Hebrides. This fleece is fantastic quality, and it is much warmer than my other (cheaper brand) one. It is windproof which was great as there was always a cold wind in the Outer Hebrides. In fact, hardly took it off, mostly just to wash it and a very short time later it would be dry already! It's no surprise that I wear this brilliant fleece at home all the time as well :o)

Perfect fleect top for me!

Reviewed By June, 03 May 2013

I was delighted to get this fleece top at such a great price. I bought the Skybox colour which is just lovely. The fabric is very light but very cosy. It is so soft I can wear it next to my skin but could also fit a light baselayer underneath. Although I am petite (size 8 and 5ft 3in) I don't have a problem with the arm length that other reviewers have had. I bought in the shop and they didn't have the full range of colours that are on the website - just off to see what other colour(s) I would like!! ;-)

Good quality fleece - great colours!

Reviewed By Lavinia, 15 Apr 2013

I now have four of these in different colours. They are easy to wear, wash and dry very well (I use the well known outdoor clothing wash - and they come out as good as new every time). They are a good fit if you're larger in the chest but smaller round the waist. On walks, they keep me warm and are easy to vent due to the zip.

I find them flattering and soft to wear - so much so I sometimes wear them as an alternative to a jumper as they're that comfortable. I love the fact they're available in lots of bright / cheerful colours - very flattering for dark skinned ladies such as myself. The only problem is, they need to stop bringing them out in new colours so I dont buy anymore! :-)

Great top

Reviewed By Sally, 25 Feb 2013

Sleeves are long but not too long. I'm standard size 12 and it fits perfectly. Not too tight on arms, can get a long sleeved base layer underneath.
Lovely and warm. The the Palm Green colour is really nice.

Great all purpose top

I'm really pleased with my top. It's really warm and a great fit. the sleeves are long but I just rolled the cuffs back and it's no problem.
Would buy another one anytime.

Lovely and warm but doesn't fit well

Reviewed By Kate, 06 Dec 2012

Loved the colour of this top so couldn't resist price drop, but like another reviewer I had to buy Large as the arms were too tight on Medium - I'm 5'3", normally size 12 or medium. The arms are several inches too long and I have to tuck them up. Also can't wear anything other than a sleeveless top underneath, but perhaps you're not supposed to. If fitted better would buy more.

Good price and soft

This great little top is perfect for travelling. It is lightweight,comfortable, deliciously warm and such a gorgeous colour. It's a fantastic price too - a real bargain.

Fantastic quality fleece at a great price

Reviewed By Laura, 26 Sep 2012

This is a great fleece at a brilliant price. The quality and fit are excellent. The length in the body is particularly good if you are wearing it with a rucksack as it is less likely to ride up. I bought one from the shop the other day and have just ordered two more online.

Great Top

Excellent value, very comfortable and very soft to the touch, with a good body length. Liked the choice of colours available.

Microchill

Reviewed By Bogdan, 20 Sep 2012

Just bought this fleece few days ago as a present for my girlfriend and she loved it. Regarding the size, it is as it should be, maybe just a little bit on the small side. It is also very comfortable, lightweight and quite small when packed.

Good fit comfy top

Like it a lot, lightweight, comfy, nice feel to the material.

Great quality fabric but didn't fit well.

Reviewed By stewart, 19 Aug 2012

I bought this in store on sale in Spring 2012, reduced from £50 to £30. I am a size 10/12 and tried on a size M but found it to be too tight in the arms. Rushed for time, I quickly tried on & bought size L. I now regret it, as this size is too baggy from the chest downwards. I still wear it for hillwalking though, and find that the fabric is great quality & definitely keeps the chill out on the windy heights. A great value buy, but try it on first!

Lovely styling and warm fleece top

Reviewed By Tania, 31 Jul 2012

I decided to take 'advantage' of the half price offer on these fleeces (one for me and a navy one for my husband). Really nice weight, very soft, and nice styling particularly on the ladies version which is shaped nicely. I wasn't sure which size to order and also difficult to choose which colour as there are so many lovely colours to choose from! I ordered the Jewel and Skybox in a 10 and 12. I could be either size depending on shop / garment, but generally am a 10 more often. In this top I needed a 12 if that helps anyone else out! The Jewel (teal type colour) is gorgeous, and the Skybox which I kept due to the size, is a striking turquoise. I haven't washed this yet, but expect it to perform as other fleeces - wash, dry quickly, no iron. Very pleased and highly recommend especially at a reduced price!

Great for taller women

Reviewed By Helen, 28 Apr 2012

Great light weight fleece that is warm and looks good. I got it two colours while it was half-price and think its great value.
I'm 5ft 11 and the sleeves on the fleece are a lot longer than other ones I've tried, so don't be put of by another review from someone who's 5ft 3 saying the length's perfect on her...as it's good for taller people too!

Absolutely fabulous!

Reviewed By Val, 27 Dec 2011

I love this top so much I now have three. Its very light, soft and very warm and I wear them a lot. I bought my partner the men's version for his birthday so we now have five between us! Bought for half price so great value for money.

Fantastic, attractive and practical micro fleece

Reviewed By Val, 29 Oct 2011

Heading of to the Lakes for a few days in October, I wanted a warm fleece that I could wear as a layer with t shirt and waterproof as my son was determined to take me up Skarfell Pike. Being a typical girl I wanted it to look great too. The Mountain Hardwear Microchill Zip T was perfect. It was very practical keeping me really warm when the temperatures dropped, not at all bulky which was great when walking and most important of all, I felt great in it! I lt was extremely soft, the shape is flattering and the colour blue is stunning! A little more expensive than I would usually pay, but well worth the money.

Fantastic mid layer

Reviewed By Rebecca, 16 Mar 2011

I bought 2 of these (cerise and blue) before going snowboarding in France, proved to be a brilliant mid layer. Its lightweight but so warm and the fit is lovely, not too tight or too loose, i am quite short at 5'3" and i found the length perfect for me. Really flattering and great colours.
